Part IX. Xfce

Xfce Desktop

Xfce is a desktop environment that aims to be fast and low on system
resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.

Xfce embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and
re-usability. It consists of a number of components that provide the
full functionality one can expect of a modern desktop environment.
They are packaged separately and you can pick among the available
packages to create the optimal personal working environment.

Build Xfce core packages in the order presented in the book for the
easiest resolution of dependencies.
